 Meet SibaThis is a recent picture of Mr. Nesib Subasic best known as Siba. Siba was born in Novi Travnik and he is still living there. In 1975 Siba is graduating from high-school in Novi Travnik and starting working in "Bratstvo", Novi Travnik as a technician and designer of the mechanical components and tools. From the early beginning of the war in Bosnia Siba have tried to help people by defending them as a soldier. | |||

| Very soon he realized that humanitarian work is the best way to help the people. By making contacts with different relief organizations and starting a distribution center for humanitarian help he tried to help the people. Siba have launched a few different programs for help. Children and retired people were first of all because they were badly distressed during the war. Siba made very successful co-operation with Feed the Children (UK), Islamic Relief, UNHCR and other humanitarian organizations. Today is Siba still in contact with humanitarian work. He is one of the founders of the MEDEX Mine Awareness Camp for Children and Youth (there is about 4 million landmines in Bosnia). The program objective is teaching children to recognize landmines and avoid them. The program is co-operation between relief workers, UN-forces (IFOR) in Bosnia and The Mountaineers Club "Haseljic Edin - Medex" from Novi Travnik. This little words about Siba maybe are not enough. We wrote this page to make possible for others to become familiar with him. For us, ex citizens of Novi Travnik living abroad, Siba is living in memory and his jokes are endless theme for our conversation. Siba (together with Rade called "Dalamacija") was the best Santa Claus ever seen in Novi Travnik. Look at some pictures from Novi Travnik. | ||
